Specializing in Good Music Without the Tacky DJ Antics

Greetings and welcome to my little blog page! It has been awhile since my last post, and I have been busy DJing and MCing weddings, private parties and school dances. There have been some changes since my initial post on this blog, but the core of what my business offers is still the same. I continue to believe that weddings are better when they have awesome music and a DJ that is there to have fun. At the same time, it is important for me as a DJ to not make my clients or their guests uncomfortable. My philosophy is that the crowd should be motivated to dance by good music, rather than a DJ telling them what to do or playing stereotypical wedding music.

Today, I play music using a Pioneer DJM-800 Mixer and 2 Pioneer CD-J 1000s. While they are CD players that I can use them to play a CD that a client may bring to me, they typically are used in conjunction with my Macbook Pro computer. This is where I have thousands upon thousands of songs available and ready to be used when I need them or when they are requested. Yes, I do enjoy it when guests request songs; it shows that they are engaged in the party and that they are having a good time. However, I am always most concerned with what my client wants. In other words, if the bride has told me not to play a song or a certain kind of music, I will obey her wishes first.

Greetings everyone! In response to many clients asking to see a web page for 5280 Mobile DJ, I have taken the first step by creating this page. As I get more comfortable with the format I hope to turn this blog into a full description of what 5280 Mobile DJ has to offer.

For starters, my name is Cameron Trainor and I am the sole operator of 5280 Mobile DJ, serving the Denver metropolitan area and beyond. I have been professionally DJing and MCing in the Denver area since 2001, and I continue to love every moment of my business. The vast majority of events that I do are weddings, although I have been known to do college parties, birthday parties, and corporate events as well.

My philosophy is this: People usually enjoy themselves most at a party when they are listening to music they actually like, rather than filler music, tacky games, or annoying DJ chatter. This is why I try to play music that people like at all times, not just when the dancing starts. I use the microphone to make announcements, to direct the crowd’s attention, and to keep everyone informed as to what is going on, not to steal the spotlight. I customize my music playlist to my clients’ needs, and frequently have clients bring some of their own picks to the reception, because every event should reflect the personalities of the client.

My equipment is all state of the art and mostly CD based. I am in the process of adding digital music to my DJ setup, and that will allow me to have even more music at my fingertips. My setup is compact and intended to fit into smaller spaces, that way I do not take up the entire dance floor. I have lights available upon request at no additional charge, but this is up to the client’s discretion.

Basically, when you hire 5280 Mobile DJ, you get me and only me to be your DJ for your important event. Many DJ companies will send a DJ that they say is best suited for your event, but they will really send out who they have available for the day. Many Saturdays in the summer are so booked they will send out whomever they can to fill the space. I used to work for one of these companies as one of the best they had to offer. I feel it is important to talk to and have a feel for my clients before I show up at the event, so I started my own company.

I have been told by some that I am the best Mobile DJ they have ever seen. I try to live up to that reputation, but that does not mean I am the best for everyone. If my philosophy seems like what you are looking for, then I am confident that you will be pleased with my services.
